Colors Of Fall Vest

"Fall is in the air here (well, some days!) and this open textured vest is just the ticket! It can be worn with either a short sleeved shirt (like I wore today with the weather exceeding 85 degrees!) or with a long sleeved shirt if the weather turns cooler. The texture is created with front and back post double crochets and the subtle variations in color are thanks to one of my favorite yarn brands – Malabrigo. Their yarns never disappoint! Yarn: Malabrigo Yarn Twist (100% Baby Merino Wool; 150 yards [137 meters]/100 grams): #TW102 Sealing Wax (5 (6, 6, 7, 7) balls) Hook: US size J/10 (6.0mm); US size P (11.5mm) Notions: Yarn needle, one 1/8” button, sewing needle, matching thread"
